Oren's Double Dummy Challenge #24**

The rules are simple. You get the contract and the lead. You may look at all cards and play accordingly (you are always South). However, the defense can do the same, and they never make mistakes. You must find a way to make the contract against any defense.
Oren's Double Dummy Challenge - 24**



You are playing 6♠. West leads the ♣10. You covered with the ♣Q, East won with the ♣K and continued with the ♣3. You must make your contract against any defense. Good luck!

** Difficulty level: medium.














Solution: 

You covered with the ♣Q and East took with the ♣K and continued with the ♣3. Ruff with the ♠10 , play spade to the ♠A, continue with the ♣8 and ruff East's ♣J. Play the ♠Q , diamond to the K and continue with the ♣7. East will cover again with the ♣A . Ruff it with your last trump. Play another diamond to your A. Cash East's last trump with your ♠K and play another spade (throw 2 diamonds from hand) to reach this ending:



When you play the ♣6 from dummy, West is squeezed in the red suits.

Well done to everyone who solved the problem!
